Extremal results in sparse pseudorandom graphs

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Yufei Zhao

Szemerédi's regularity lemma is a fundamental tool in extremal combinatorics. However, the original version is only helpful in studying dense graphs. In the 1990s, Kohayakawa and…

Crossings, colorings, and cliques

Michael O. Albertson, Daniel W. Cranston, Jacob Fox

Albertson conjectured that if graph has chromatic number , then the crossing number of is at least that of the complete graph . This conjecture in the case is…

A question of Erdős and Graham on Egyptian fractions

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Xiaoyu He +4

Answering a question of Erdős and Graham, we show that for each fixed positive rational number the number of ways to write as a sum of reciprocals of distinct positive int…

The Erdős-Gyárfás problem on generalized Ramsey numbers

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Choongbum Lee +1

Fix positive integers and with . An edge-coloring of the complete graph is said to be a -coloring if every receives at leas…

Quasiplanar Graphs, String Graphs, and the Erdos-Gallai Problem

Jacob Fox, Janos Pach, Andrew Suk

An -quasiplanar graph is a graph drawn in the plane with no pairwise crossing edges. Let be an integer and . We prove that there is a constant such tha…

Bounded VC-dimension implies the Schur-Erdos conjecture

Jacob Fox, Janos Pach, Andrew Suk

In 1916, Schur introduced the Ramsey number , which is the minimum integer such that for any -coloring of the edges of the complete graph , there is a monochrom…
